Quick answers for Silver Lake
Is it cheaper to replace the fob battery or the whole fob in Silver Lake? + −
If the buttons work and it just went dead, a battery is a few dollars. Replace the fob when it is water-damaged, cracked, or lost — then it needs programming to your car.
Can I use an aftermarket fob instead of OEM in Silver Lake? + −
Sometimes. Aftermarket fobs cost less and work on many models, but not all. Give the year and make so the locksmith can say what actually programs to your car.
Do I have to tow the car to get a new fob in Silver Lake? + −
Usually no. Fob programming is typically done on site where the car is parked, as long as it is somewhere safe to work.
What should I tell the locksmith in Silver Lake? + −
Cross streets, gate or intercom codes, parking rules, and car vs home. For vehicles, include color, make, and where it is parked. ZIP 90026 and 90039 is commonly routed from Silver Lake.
